On Oct 27, 2022, I placed an online order with Sears Parts Direct for parts for a GE Washing Machine. The order number was C757734. The order total was $69.55. The following day, I checked the order number online to see the status of the order. I immediately noticed that the delivery address on the order was not the delivery address I had entered on the order. It was a different address. My home address is **********************************************************. The address on the delivery order was changed to ****************************************************** **.I contacted Sears Parts Direct to notify them that the order had a different address from the address I had entered on the order. I asked them why, and was told that it was probably an error by the employee who entered the order in the system. I didnt believe them, because this was not a typo, it was a completely different address from the one I requested. I was told they couldnt change the address on the order. The order would have to be cancelled. I told them to cancel the order, and refund my money. It has been over a week, and the order was never cancelled. According to Sears Parts Direct, the parts were shipped. I never received the parts, because they shipped via *** to the wrong address. The tracking number I was given is 1Z63EW100351892388.I have contacted Sears Parts Direct several times. I have been unable to talk to anyone on the phone. I have to use the chat function on their website. They tell me I will get a refund, but I havent received anything. I believe that this is a scam.

I was charged ****** for Sears home services to repair my dryer. I was told that the fee was for diagnositic and would be applied towards the repair of the dryer. After the initial diagnostic I was told that they could not order the part and that I should attempt to try to order the part if it was available. This information should clearly be communicated to the customer in regards to the inability for them to fix the appliance or find the part that is needed. How can the ****** be applied towards my repair bill if they were not able to repair the appliance? I was reassured via chat with Sears home services that they were confident that they would be able to repair my appliance.

Dear BBB Customer Relations,
We have completed the investigation of Ms. ***** complaint regarding the trip charges incurred on the repairs of her dryer.
First, we would like to apologize to Ms. ***** for failing his expectations. We do not take these lightly and we sincerely apologize that she was not satisfied with the information provided at the time of the service.
The estimate is the total amount that will be owed and it includes the cost to travel to the home and diagnose the problem and provide the estimate, and then the cost of any parts and the labor to install those parts. In ************** case unfortunately the parts needed for the repairs were no longer available.
The trip charges are not refundable,however as a one-time courtesy we refunded the trip charges. The refund was processed on December 9, 2022, for $145.47.We would note that it can take 2-3 weeks to receive the check and if she has not received it within that timeframe she is welcome to email me for assistance at ***************************************** With that being said, since we did provide ************** with her requested resolution, we have closed our file.
We apologize for any problems or frustration that Ms. ***** may have experienced with Sears.

I am rejecting this response because:
Sincerely,
*************************I have not received the refund that was suggested in the response once I receive the refund suggested I will consider this case closed. I do understand that sometimes there are extenuating circumstances, such as covid that was mentioned in the explanation and other matters and I also understand that the service fee is nonrefundable however as I mentioned previously, I was told the nonrefundable service fee would be applied to the repair of the appliance, and I was assured that this would occur by several over the phone conversations. This is unfortunate because I have used this company for years and was very pleased with the service however this is the second time that services were not rendered. The first time I did not report the issue which occurred a few years ago. Recently I had to go elsewhere for my services and will continue to do so in the future the company I used gave complete customer satisfaction and a warranty that they honor.

On April 21, 2022 I purchased a Kenmore ********** refrigerator with ice maker model # *****. This refrigerator was delivered in May. From day one there were problems with the door. The delivery guys had a hard time changing the handles. According to the repair guys there was nothing to s**** the screws to just a hollow hole. They got the handle to stay but it was loose. After they left I could not get the cheese tray to open. So I requested someone to come out. Then the door wouldn't stay closed. The same repairman came out and tried to fix it and he ordered the rubber seal and another door because he said it was damaged. The rubber seal came in June but the door never came. I called several times because after being out of town for an emergency I lost everything in the fridge because the door was not closed. I called to find out when the door was coming and each time the response was it is being made. For five months still no door. So I called and requested a new refrigerator. Today Nov 8th it was delivered. The same problems all over again. So I sent it back and requested a refund because apparently they are all damaged. I spoke with several people before I got a young lady name *********, who was very rude. I tried to explain the situation and how long I been calling and how I lost food which I told on caller and he said there is nothing that we can do about that. Well ********* talked all over me talking telling me that I can not get a refund and that I can choose another refrigerator and pay the difference. I m really mad at the service I received and I want nothing to do with this company again, Just give me my refund and we call it quits. I deserve better than I have been treated for the last six months. I would like a refund so I can purchase another fridge before I lose more food. This has been the worst experience in my life. My mom love Sears and now it is awful. Please send me a refund because it seem that your appliances are bad.

I put in a service request to repair a cracked stove top with Sears ************ LLC. in April 5th 2022 I paid to the amount of $576.81 for new parts and for the equipment to be repaired. It took a while for the parts to arrive due to supply chain issues. When it finally arrived in early September and the technician came out. He diagnosed that he was not able to perform the job and wrote up a letter for a full refund (please find attached). This was date 19th of Sept 2022.However I have called Sears multiple time and all this time I am told that they are still processing the request. This has been going on for almost 2 months now and I want to file a BBB complaint to get a refund and also would like compensation for the inconvenience.

Hello, I purchased the insurance protection for a refrigerator I bought from Sears and the fan has malfunctioned and it has been making a loud noise making it almost impossible for me to sleep and work from home. I contacted Sears on October 5th they sent a third party company whom advised we needed and new fan but never returned since. I never received a call for a new appointment. I have been calling Sears and they have yet to send someone out. I just received the parts on Nov 5th and had an appointment for Nov 7th and no technician showed up. I been calling calling Sears all day they keep me on hold and then drop the call. I requested for a supervisor to contact me to resolve this issue and they said they would call within one hour. I never received a call.

On July 14, 2022, a Sears Protection Agreement for a dishwasher was renewed. An appointment was made for July 21, 2022 to replace three parts. The appointment was rescheduled several times to wait for parts to be shipped. Two parts arrived but the third part did not. The technician requested a replacement because of part unavailability but was denied. The part order was canceled and the part was re-ordered from another source but still has not arrived. On September 27, 2022, case ******* was created to request dishwasher replacement due to lack of part. Over 20 phone calls were made to resolve this situation, but no representative could be reached who has the power to resolve it. Some claim that the part has arrived to the technician or another department, but nobody seems to have located it and no tracking number for the part ever appeared. No end date has been provided for resolution. Sears should either repair or replace the dishwasher. It would help if Sears offered a free protection agreement for the duration from the renewal of the agreement to when the unit is repaired or replaced, as the agreement has not been enjoyed during this egregiously long and time-consuming (many long and frustrating phone calls) wait.

Our range that we originally purchased from Sears in **** stopped working back in July 2022. I have been a long-term subscriber to the Sears Master Protection Agreement contract renewing it every couple of years. When I called their ***** number a repairman came to the house on September 20, 2022 and told us the problem was in the control panel (the oven stopped warming up once it reached 150 degrees). He also said it was very unlikely they would find the necessary parts to fix the range due to its age. I never heard back so on September 26, 2022 I called the Protection Agreement ************** and they confirmed the parts could not be found and they would be replacing the range with a comparable one. My replacement case # is *******. Since the, I have called them back 3 times in October and was told each time to be patient and look for an email with instructions. It is now November 7, 2022 and I have heard nothing. This has been going on for 3+ months. So with Thanksgiving in a few weeks followed by the holidays, we decided we have to have an oven to bake with and cannot wait any longer for Transform ** to respond. So we are planning to purchase a new range this week. What I am requesting is a refund of the cost of a new range we are about to purchase (~ $1300) and a refund of the protection agreement contract I just renewed for 2 years ($699.11). I no longer want anything to do with Transform ** products/services and/or Sears (which I know was in bankruptcy until very recently). My Master Protection Agreement contract # is *************** and expiration date of 9/16/2024. At the time the range stopped working it was still under warranty with the last contract. Please let me know if you need further information and thank you for any assistance in resolving this dilemma.

We made an appointment for someone to look at our clothes washer. Upon making the appointment, Sears charged me $1. I was told the remaining amount would occur once the man arrived.

Dear BBB Customer Relations,
We have completed the investigation of Mr. ******* complaint regarding the bill that he received for the trip charges for his washer.
First, we would like to apologize to **************** for failing his expectations. We do not take these matters lightly and we sincerely regret any inconvenience.
We had contacted our accounting department, and it looks like our automatic audit system did not find the merchant credit payment for the original charge, so it generated a bill.
We determined that the bill was closed incorrectly, since the service call was not completed. So this bill was closed out on November 9, 2022.
His account was noted as paid in full. So his bill was removed and if he receives any further correspondence dated after November 9, 2022, related to this debt he is welcome to email me for further assistance at **************************************** , we dont report our collection efforts so our billing would not have any impact on his credit history or score. With that said, since we did provide **************** with his requested resolution, we have closed our file.
We apologize for any problems or frustrations that **************** may have experienced with Sears. We do value our customers and strive for their complete satisfaction including a reasonable resolution of any complaints. Please feel free to contact me at **************************************** if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,

I have a service protection agreement with Sears Home Repairs. My Kenmore Boiler which heats my house needs to be replaced with a new boiler, which is covered under the service protection plan. On May 1, 2022 the service repair person initiated the Paperwork needed to get the boiler replaced. I have called over ********************************************************************************************************************* sept 2022 they made me buy a new service protection plan because they said even though it was covered under the old plan, I would not get the boiler replaced. Its been 3 months since the intial ticket was put in to replace the boiler, but because no has done anything the service plan ran out on sept and I had to spend another **** to renew it. Now its Nov 3, 2022 and I still have not had a new boiler installed. There is no one I can tally to because I keep getting bounced around from department to department. Each department keeps telling they have escalated the case and I should wait **** business for a resolution. Now its cold and my grandmother who is 75 years old has been sick cause we have no heat in our house. They tried to send anothet repair person to my house on Nov 2, 2022. I called out of work and then no one showed up. I am completely broken at this point and I dont know what to do. I paid for this service. A Boiler cost $10,000. They have taken my money for years and now refuse to replace my boiler. Right now this is criminal that I have paid for service that not only have not provided but are dragging it out so I have to keep my protection agreement current.If needed I can provide you with my prtection agreement and my phone records. Also the technician visits.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
